Can an injection really help you lose weight? Evidence suggests that it is working for many people today. However, not everyone believes it.
The Morning Consult for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine conducted a study. Its findings are quite interesting. It found that just 23% of people agreed with or strongly agreed with a simple statement.
That statement was this. “If I wanted to lose weight, I would rather take an injectable weight loss drug rather than make a diet change.” About 62% of people strongly disagreed with that statement. The survey also showed that 73% of people disagreed or strongly disagreed with the idea of using an injection to lose weight. These are people who stated they want to lose weight.
The same study also looked at a vegan diet. It asked the following question. “If a plant-based diet might cause significant weight loss, I would be interested in trying it, at least briefly.” About 68% of people were in favor of that. Just 32% said no way.
It’s hard to say, but with the much higher cost in the US, fewer people are able to try out injectable drugs in the US. Consider that in the UK, those who are unemployed can receive free Ozempic-style weight loss injections. That could help them to find the job they want. In China, Ozempic is being used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is not yet approved for weight loss. China is considered one of the most obese populations in the world. People are flocking to use Ozempic and other injections as a solution.
Americans may still be skeptical about the use of weight loss injections. There’s often a lot of uncertainty about them. Most so, there are side effects. That, and the high cost, have made it much harder for Americans to give injections a try. Can an injection really help you lose weight? Evidence suggests that it is working for many people today.
